It's the Luftgekühlt team's – which includes two-time Le Mans class winner Patrick Long – interpretation of a rally-style 911, "designed in form and function to be both a daily driver as well as a capable off-roader."

The car evokes the spirit of the Baja-style desert races of the type Steve McQueen used to compete in that are a big part of California's car and truck racing history.

In association with RM Sotheby's the car will be auctioned live during Luftgekühlt's April 10th event in Vernon, CA with all proceeds benefitting the Autumn Leaves Project, a charity dedicated to funding pancreatic cancer research.
